Journal:
Up to this point in the book, we still don't know how Ruth goes from growing up Jewish to marrying two black men and having 12 children with them. Based on what you've read from Ruth's point of view and from James' childhood accounts, predict what you think happened to draw her from her heritage and family. Use information from the book to back up your point.

Read Chapters 9 & 10. You will have a quiz on Friday for them.
